Gabby Douglas Announces Her Return to Competitive Gymnastics
Three-Time Olympic Gold Medalist Eyes Comeback
Douglas Last Competed in 2016 Rio Olympics
Former U.S. gymnast Gabby Douglas has announced her return to competitive gymnastics, aiming for a comeback at the age of 28. The announcement was made on Thursday, sparking excitement among fans and the gymnastics community.
Douglas rose to fame at the 2012 London Olympics, where she became the first African American woman to win the all-around gold medal. She went on to add a team gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Douglas's return marks a significant moment in gymnastics, as she will be competing at an age when most gymnasts have already retired.
Douglas's decision to return to competition comes after a five-year hiatus. The last time a female gymnast over the age of 20 won gold in the all-around event was in 1972, highlighting the challenges Douglas faces in her comeback attempt.
